this & that

it was an absolutely gorgeous autumn day yesterday...

yes, even in the cemetery/graveyard/field of stone...perhaps especially so.

☀ ☠ ☀ ☠ ☀

munki had a wonderful birthday.

on the day before...we went down to springfield to visit with family.

wyatt & munki spent a lot of time together...

thankfully, munki still wanted to go on her annual build-a-bear trip.

part of me fears the day she thinks she's too old for it.

this is her latest addition to her "way too many" stuffed animal collection.

 she named him pumpkin.

which, obvious or not, is the perfect name for him.

sadly, matt had to work on munki's actual birthday.

so, i promised to take pictures of everything.

lucky for y'all, i just plopped some of the pix into a collage.

and as for her cake...

she wanted chocolate chocolate chip cake 

with chocolate chocolate chip frosting.

that's a lot of chocolate.

and it's the first year she has asked for something other than strawberry.

so, i whipped up this incredibly chocolate-y cake of goodness.

her only request for the top...

was a dragon.

she was ecstatic...

& that's all that mattered to me.

the cake, by the way...

AWESOME!

i was super pleased with myself.

have a lovely day & be kind to one another.

xox.
